RUNNING POWERED SPEAKERS FROM AN IMAC
Hello all:
What am I missing here? How would I go about using my powered speakers, Kantos i pair 5's with my iMac? They have s video and rca jacks etc. but the iMac has only a headphone jack and usb ports. Is there a way to do this? I no longer need these speakers in a home office and would love to repurpose them in the computer room.
Thanks for any suggestions!

The simplest and cheapest way would be to run a 3.5mm stereo mini to RCA cable from the headphone jack to the powered speakers. The jack is actually a dual output jack, headphone and digital optical, so for better quality you could get a digital to analog converter (DAC) with optical input and use a mini-Toslink to Toslink cable to the DAC, then use its RCA outputs with a standard RCA cable to the speakers. |
